Katie Osgood is a great example of a young, formally trained photographer (she has a BFA in photography from the Art
Center College of Design) who knows what modern, urban
brides want. “The word ‘zeitgeist’ is often at the front of my mind
when I’m shooting,” Osgood explains. “I often think about the
future children of my clients and what they might be able to infer
about the way the world was when their parents got together.

Things like giant iPads as cameras, the cars on the street, the
logos on the coffee cups, all of that, for better or for worse—
it’s our world so I feel it’s worth documenting.” Osgood sticks
mostly to digital but occasionally shoots instant Fuji film with
her Polaroid cameras. “I think it’s the individual moments that
are most important to my clients,” she says. “Most people want
some creative frames for their walls, but in the end, I think they
want to remember the experience and the people they shared
that experience with.” —JG
